№ 819: Battle Plan

Trump signals change in coronavirus strategy that could clash with health experts
Trump tweeted late Sunday that the White House would ‘make a decision’ after 15-day period of social distancing ends

Writing in capital letters in a tweet late on Sunday, Donald Trump said: “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself. At the end of the 15-day period” – of White House guidelines to enforce social distancing and other measures which began a week ago, on 16 March – “we will make a decision as to which way we want to go.”

HUNKERED IN THE BUNKER (March 23) —

I see myself as a general

sending his forces to war.

You have to accept acceptable losses.

That is what forces are for.

Wars can’t be won without battles,

you can't keep your troops safe at home.

Enemies must be confronted,

a general can’t do it alone.

Losses must be accepted

however many their scores.

Businesses must be protected.

That is what losses are for.
